Explore Mar-Kov's Formulation Control Capabilities
Master Formula Versioning
Maintain full version control with audit trails, approval workflows, and rollback options, perfect for regulated industries.
Role-Based Access Controls
Control who can view, edit, or approve formulas to secure proprietary data and enforce compliance protocols.
Batch Size Scaling
Automatically scale ingredient quantities with precision, preserving key ratios and tolerances across different batch sizes. Alternately, insist on separate formula per order size to ensure proper equipment and instruction validation for regulated environments.
Formula Approval Workflows
Route formulation edits through configurable digital sign-offs. Ensure alignment across R&D, QA, and production teams, even across multiple facilities.
Integrated Costing View
See real-time cost impact of formula changes, including raw materials, packaging, and labor, using built-in recipe development tools.
Multisite & Multiformat Support
Standardize formulations globally, support alternate formats (liquid, powder, concentrate), and maintain consistency across contract manufacturers and internal teams.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I scale formulas automatically across different batch sizes?
Yes. Mar-Kov supports dynamic scaling while preserving ingredient ratios. You can also enforce fixed formulas by batch size when working in regulated environments.
Does Mar-Kov track who edited or approved a formula?
Absolutely. Every change is logged with time stamps, user IDs, and approval status, ensuring full audit compliance and traceability.
Can I see the cost impact of a formula change before producing it?
Yes. Ingredient, labor, and packaging costs are calculated in real time as you edit the formula, helping you avoid costly missteps.
Is this suitable for managing private label or contract manufacturing formulations?
Yes. Mar-Kov supports multiple versions of a single product, site-specific variations, and client-specific branding requirements.
Does the system allow different access levels for R&D, QA, and production teams?
Yes. You can configure access and edit permissions by role, department, location, or individual user.
